Hyundai Motor officially launched the second generation of Nexo hydrogen fuel electric vehicles (FCV), the technical highlights in addition to the world's first hydrogen-powered car fuel vehicles, but also South Korea's first passenger development, and successful in the general road test self-driving A number of Korean media reported that Nexo successfully piloted the 190 km freeway autopilot from Seoul to Pyeongchang before the opening of the PyeongChang Winter Olympics. It is noteworthy that Nexo did not use the common large LiDAR Complex sensors, only the use of general vehicle equipped with parts, and then add some of the special components for driving.It contains a stereo camera, a traffic light front camera, two rear camera, a front radar, a front light up, 1 rear light, 4 side light, 2 rear radar, a total of more than 12 sensors installed, the software section is built-in HD precision maps, GPS positioning system, depth learning technology, so the appearance is almost the same with the average car. Hyundai said that according to the SAE standards, Nexo has reached the Level 4 self-drive level and Hyundai Motor plans to cooperate with Aurora, a US start-up startup, to build it by 2021. A commercial Level 4 self-driving vehicle that can be used in Smart City targets the general road by 2025. In addition, Nexo also has some Level 2 auto-driving capabilities including High Speed Drive Assist (HDA), Intelligent Vehicle Control Cruise Control (SCC) , LFA, RSPA, etc. In addition to self-driving technology, Nexo's other feature is the use of hydrogen fuel, 5 minutes to fill the fuel tank, the maximum breath can drive 609 kilometers. Currently, 1 kg of hydrogen in South Korea is 7,000 won. Therefore, it takes only 45,000 won to fill the fuel tank with hydrogen. However, hydrogen convenience is still the biggest obstacle to the popularization of hydrogen fuel vehicles. South Korea currently only has 12 hydrogen refueling stations. However, more than half of them are research facilities, and it is difficult for general owners to come into contact with them. In this regard, the South Korean government expects to add 36 hydrogen refueling stations in 2018. However, compared with Japan, there are still more than 100 hydrogen refueling stations.
